The Other Half: Past and Future Now - Michael MacGarry

The centrepiece of this exhibition is the large-scale sculpture Faro RLV 3-10, an unmanned field artillery cannon (Remote Land Vehicle) of the Nigerian Federal Army in the year 2052, conceived, designed and manufactured by the artist, principally in mild steel. Informing the work is the idea that, in all probability, the United States will in our lifetime engage in military activities against the Federal Republic of Nigeria, under the rubric of ensuring security, peace and stability in the country and the region.
